My Top Ten Fungi In Caelid:

As inspired by this fact post, I've decided to make the second one an actual thing, because there are some cool fungi about. The Mushroom People from Dark Souls aside, here are some of Fromsoft's lowest to highest coolest mycological moments:

10- This rotten bastard right here:

I wanted to make this walking fungal infection famous and it spammed me with poison attacks. Fuck this guy. Last place.

9- Common Caelid Flat Fungus

It's fine. The occasional bumps and squinching sounds it makes are neat. But still the least interesting of the Caelid fungi.

8- Oyster Barkshrooms

These are likely the only thing in Caelid that even looks vaguely edible. Pretty neat.

7- Caelidine Cupclusterfungus

These Pezizaceae looking, almost lichenesque clumps are neat, I like when they grow as burls on the the roots. They also sound squinchy.

6- Malenia's Aeonian Sporeblobs

I only wish we saw these puff out some clouds of spores. I have no idea why my camera picked up blue in the middle, sorry.

5- Outback Rothouse Bloomin' Flat Fungus

These are pretty cool, they grow from the flatshrooms and look like one of my drawings. Almost coral-like.

4- Doomskull of Mycelium

Though some of this ancient massive skull has fine cup fungi, other parts have a more mycelium like texture. Also, skull.

3- Branching Fruiting Stumpfungus

These things are awesome. Super cordycepsy. We call them "Caelid Cacti" back home. I mean we don't but whatever.

2- Decaying Ekzykes

I'm not big on dragons in general but a decaying scarlet-rot breathing one? That's pretty awesome. Also I like saying "Ekzykes." Ekzykes.

1- Tomb Mold

Bloodborne item cameo FTW!!! Time for chalice dungeons. Not really. Please don't let the DLC have chalice dungeons.

[nonasuch]

Can I ask how much the cameos you got at the antiques store were? I've inherited an ENORMOUS cameo collection and don't even know where to start selling off the hundreds I don't want to keep.

oh, what a good problem to have!

The main factors in pricing cameos are a) what the setting is made of and b) the quality of the carving. More unusual subjects (ie not the standard lady in profile) will also add to value.

The prices I paid for the cameos I just posted don’t really reflect retail pricing, because I was buying a big batch of jewelry all at once at dealer prices. If you’re selling to a dealer, expect to get 1/3 to 1/2 of retail; if you decide to sell them yourself online, you can try for full retail pricing but expect it to take a long time.

Just to give you a sense of the possible range, I priced the largest cameo of the batch I posted, which is large and very well-carved and has an 18k setting, at $210. The smaller profile cameos in sterling and gold fill will be $40-60. The smallest coral-colored cameo is pressed glass in a brass setting (but it’s also Victorian), so I’ll price it around $25.

[ask-whitepearl-and-steven]

After reading the question about the reference to Godzilla, I wondered if there is any type of reference, cameos or inspiration in the work, such as episodes, panels, etc., or at least you have had the idea of doing it, something simple like putting a small among us in steven's clothes or something

There's actually quite a few! I think many of them tend to cater towards the 30-40 year old reader end of the spectrum. There's multiple references to things like Cardcaptor Sakura(Card Collector Momo) and Dragonball Z(Steven's staff), Sailor moon (Earl and Steven's fusion, Coral) - at one point Sour Cream dabs, which, while not a reference, is ancient by today's standards.

There's probably more that I'm forgetting.... But yeah, they're there! They're just a bit older. :)

YESSSSS GIVE ME UR MERHOG IDEASSSSSSSSSSSSSS PLSSSS I NEEDD THEM GRRRRR

alright guys. dailyhogz account is over. this is all i’ve been wanting this entire time. pack it up

JKJK!!!!!! But. Oh my gosh. You’ve opened so many floodgates w ur words HEHE

so basically this is meant to be a sonic-unleashed inspired game, taking aspects of some of my favorite pieces of sonic media & transforming them into something i want to see. when this idea spawned it had been me wanting to make an au and shit around in vc for a few hours with my friends when this idea just spawned up.

wayyy more under the cut

it’s the fear of water i think that made me really wanna do this. sonic, forced to adventure into the thing he hates the most: water! sonic unleashed is my second favorite sonic game, and that game was almost entirely building the world of sonic, how earth is in his dimension & the different nations and people you’d find. i wanted to do that, but underwater!

so base plot: there’s this goddess . there’s a lot of sea-gods that sea based mobians typically worship depending on which city you live in. i wanted to have some kind of unmanageable dark force corrupt the gods of these subsections, influencing them to destroy their cities & injure their people. who that is yet?? absolutely no fuckin clue. but they’re definitely out there

anyway—goddess of the southern sea, aka coral, before she can be fully corrupted she transfers the last bit of her power to someone she’d only really heard about in legends. Sonic T Hedgin Hog. and he’s sleeping when he finds this out LOL.

he wakes up and he’s like i feel like something happened but idk what and then he sees coral herself in front of him like hey so sorry to do this to you but like if you go into water now you’ll become a mermaid. and he’s like wasn’t planning on going into water anyway but like why??? and she’s like wellll. Okay. So. you kind of have too. because like billions of underwater mobians and underwater wildlife is going to die if you don’t and he’s like ????????? who the fuck starts a conversation like this i just woke up

in these pictures you can see corals main form & her goddess form ! she typically takes shape of a fish. although i ended up changing this fish design later down the line as seen in the most recent merhog sketches

i wanted to flesh out the world of underwater earth by introducing all these different creatures that mobians CAN be. don’t bring up archie’s sea creatures i will cry infront of you i think building their world similarly to the way sonic unleashed built the surface land would be a really intriguing game idea. and i thought water zones (subtracting some actual water physics and giving him awesome fuckin Tail Slash powers & w/e) would be pretty fun. high speed zones in gorgeous waterscapes??? yes please

the other characters that can be found in this world are tails the fox (he follows sonic in a submarine the entire game and its fox shaped its adorable), amy rose, and rouge + shadow have brief cameos. other then that it’s all villagers & underwater mobians & also Coral and sonic himself just kind of fucking around and finding out

with that as well sonic is even more avoidant of water then before because of suffocation if he’s out of the water in merhog form and w/e. coral is kind of like caliburn in this sense where he’s like hey is there any way i can opt out of this mission? and she’s like no sorry. must suck being u though and he’s like :( ok i guess . but he ends up gaining a new respect for the water afterwards, even if he is still afraid of it LOL

DIRECTOR'S CUT ON COMMIT TO THE BIT but only like the first two chapters i am so far behind 😭

girl I wish I had been as productive as you think i've been 😭 there's only two chapters so far-

(But, hey, good news! Chapter three is verging ever closer to probably being done! And it's only taken me about... eight months... hahaha *dies on the inside*)

Anyway, i'll do what I did with the other ask and just go through it and talk about stuff!

Okay, so this fic was originally called "The Con" because it involved winning a lot more bets via subterfuge and holding hands. That changed and so I renamed it!

Oh yeah! And so, this fic was partly inspired by the song Summer Nights from Grease, where the guys and girls are enthusiastically listening to completely different stories of the same event. I flipped it around so they had completely different reactions to the same story and Sabine and Ezra were very UNenthusiastic and that was what the scenes with their friends were based on!

Aylan (the vostress kid) definitely heard some obitine stories from his dad and finds the parallels very amusing.

I know i've said it a few times before, but it always delights me to mention that the three Togruta sisters (Chisica, Am-lee, and Khenna) are based on me and my sisters.

OHHH fun fact! Originally the conversation where they split up the profits from the bet and the conversation where Sabine brought up fake-dating were two different conversations! The first one was as-is in the fic, but the other one happened like a week later when Sabine was hanging out in a tree coral with some of the girls and watching Ezra doing lightsaber forms and maybe drawing him shirtless a little bit and they hype her up to "ask him out again" and she goes over and interrupts him and they end up having the fake-dating idea conversation while he's not wearing a shirt and she's blatantly checking him out (and at one point actually half-reaches-out to touch his abs before she catches herself) and he's just "????" the whole time. It was funny, but I decided it was too early in the (fake) relationship for her to be so obvious about it, and I needed Fenn Rau to overhear the conversation and that was easier if they were on the Ghost, so I combined the scenes.

Oh also! Originally, both Vinn AND Tarik were gonna get kicked out of the friend group for being nasty but then I decided to make Tarik less nasty and give him a redemption arc.

ok, reading on, la de da...

The post-stargazing scene! So, I had to keep dialing things back because my shippy writer brain was moving their relationship ahead WAY faster than it was supposed to go. For example, in this scene, originally, they were going to share Sabine's bunk and definitely not cuddle or anything, it won't be weird at all, but again--just too soon. I made up for it with excessive cuddles in the end of the chapter & in chapter 2.

KATKA CAMEO!! Ok so for those who don't know---katka is an OC from my Teenage Rebellion AU. She's Gar Saxon's niece but she's utter sweetness (with a slight twist of crazy) and totally on board to stick it to the Empire. In the TRAU, she also has a massive raging crush on Ezra (albeit an Inquisitor iteration of him), so when I needed a random character to be envious of Sabine here, I figured I'd reuse her lol.

Oh yeah! Another condensed scene! Where she tells him about the Mandalorian ways of saying "I love you" and where she asks him to fake marry her used to be two different scenes! Like with the other one, I added the second one to the first. I went through a few versions of the fake-marriage-proposal, including one where Aylan came along with Ezra to Mandalore and was the one to suggest they tie the knot, apparently unaware it's all fake (but actually 100% aware it's all fake because his psychometry revealed it)

not to brag or anything but "Ezra did not regret fake-marrying into money" is one of my favorite lines i've ever written.

(btw, I still crack up when I remember that in your comment on chapter 1, you called Ezra a repressed victorian maiden for panicking over being able to see sabine's arms and legs. and I think everyone should know that You Are Right, Ezra Is A Repressed Victorian Maiden.)

OK ON TO CHAPTER 2!

i had so much fun with this chapter because they're both full to bursting with love for each other and neither of them will admit it until the last possible moment. I think that might actually be why Chapter 3 is taking so long--they're not hiding their feelings anymore so there's no more poetic internal monologues about how much they adore each other lol

Ah yeah on the topic of repressed feelings--the line "Kanan is fairly sure it’ll take at least five years and possibly a child for Sabine to admit that she’s actually in love with her husband" was supposed to actually be what happened. Sabine and Ezra were going to go on pretending the marriage was fake for years and finally one night when they were cuddled up, Sabine blurted out that she was in love with him and he was like "Yeah. I know." and she was like "wait what?? how did you know?? I was so subtle about my feelings!!" and he was like "Sabine, you kissed me good-night ten minutes ago. you're constantly calling me extremely romantic pet names in mando'a. we have two children and only one of them is adopted. your feelings are about as subtle as a paint bomb to the face." and she was just like "....oh." and then that was the end of the story! BUUUUT then I decided to do a love confession during the Lothal arc, and that led to the... surprise... at the end of chapter 2, which led to there needing to be a THIRD chapter!

OH HAHA OK MORE FUNNY STUFF. So the part with sabine's nightmare that leads to the "two besties chilling in a bathtub...?" scene was ALSO split up into two different events! I've been thinking about doing some edits of both chapters of CttB because I didn't really stop to edit either of them before posting (and a good chunk of chapter 2 was literally written the day before I posted it), which I mention because I was considering reverting the two scenes back to their original versions because the og tub scene was pretty funny. It's hard to describe in brief words, but basically... yeah it's too hard to describe, just take my word for it, it was pretty funny. (it involved Ezra singing along to We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together with a shampoo bottle for a microphone and Tristan playing a petty revenge prank that goes sideways.)

The cut between Ezra worrying about Sabine being upset about his feelings for her and thinking "what would she think if she knew??", and sabine's pov opening with "Sabine can't stop thinking about kissing his stupid face" never fails to make me snicker.

Oh hey I just got to the thrawn pov and that reminds me. at one point I was thinking about having a scene including Ezra and Thrawn's conversation aboard the Chimaera and thrawn REAAAALLLY pushes his buttons about Sabine, using the information that he figured out about their marriage. Actually, if I do that edit, I might write that scene.

Poor Hera--she keeps unintentionally being responsible for all of the sabezra relationship development lol.

OOH SOMETHING ELSE! So, originally, the love confession was WAY different. First of all, it wasn't in their room--it was in one of the caves. Sabine still went looking for Ezra, but she found him by following a Loth-wolf. And he actually confessed his feelings first! In this version, he was afraid he was going to die and impulsively blurted out that he loved her. Then he got nervous and started rambling a little and she shut him up with a kiss. But I changed it--I wanted her to be the one to take the leap and 'fess up, and if I set it in her room, I could have the funny Ketsu scene afterwards.

And then True Love's Kiss woke someone else up! (aka kanan got yoinked out of his comatose state by telepathic TMI)

oh yeah and to anyone wondering, that "another dawn breaks" line from the Kanera scene was ABSOLUTELY a reference to A New Dawn.

Oh and that Ketsu scene---that was actually a scene I saved and reused after cutting it from a different WIP of mine! There were two variations--the one I ended up using, and one where she accidentally interrupts the very first kiss and they're both like "OH COME ON!" because they've been waiting for this moment FOREVER and like ten seconds in, it gets interrupted, and Ezra decides that, darn it, he's been waiting for this for so long, he's not going to wait any longer! and he just pulls Sabine right back into the kiss and uses the Force to shut the door in Ketsu's face. I did this version so that I could include dialogue!

I'm just now realizing that I actually skipped over the entirety of Family Reunion and Farewell, I went straight from Jedi Night to Happy-Ever-After. But in my defense, plot-relevant episodes don't matter much when it comes to crack fix-it fics.

And... I think that's all my thoughts I have on this! Thank you for the ask!! :)
